There are quite a few players who're better passers than Magic.

A lot of his passes look better than they actually are because of the theatrics of exaggerating his movements; if he didn't look the other way, or kick up his leg, or swing around his arm, folks would be less inclined to praise his passing. He's more unrivaled in terms of entertainment and putting on a show, than his actual passing ability. Plus, even though this board doesn't like admitting it, he came up during a time where there was little-to-no defensive framework, so he was able to throw these passes without much interference during the play.
